5 Great First Date Tips and Advice

The first date is always the scariest. This is true for blind dates, or the first date between people who know each other extremely well, but have never dated. Why is this? This is because everyone wants to impress that person so that a second date can be made. Those who have never met before that night want to make the best first impressions. Those who have known each other forever may simply be trying to impress the other on a one-to-one basis, in relation to normal hang out with friends basis. There are some tips one can use to make the first date feel a little more normal though.

1. Be yourself. By trying to act like someone else or put on a show to impress the person sitting on the other side of the table, you have lost what brought them to you in the beginning. That person did not decide to go on a date with the fake you, but rather the real you. Be sure to let that shine through on your first date. Being fake is unappealing for everyone, them and you.

2. Relax. There is nothing worse than a stressful date. Dates are supposed to be fun, not work. If it were stressful and hard, people would not do it, there would still be parents picking the spouse of their children. Have fun with your date and have fun during the date. By having fun, the best part you will shine though.

3. Do something new. Been to the same restaurant so many times, you know the menu by heart? If that is the case, take your first date somewhere new. Try going for a game of Putt-putt. It can be a lot of fun and lead to better conversation.

4. This leads us to tips on dating conversation. The conversation should be a two-way road. This means you talk and the other talks, not just the other and not just you. Talk about yourself some, and talk about the events. Listen well to what the other talks about. If the other talks a lot about his or her ex, it may be time to call the date and not schedule for a second.

5. Do follow the online dating advice. This advice often states that all first dates should be done in a group setting to limit the possibility of getting into a bad situation. This is true for online dating and this is very true for blind first dates. Though someone can appear nice at first, this does not mean the person is nice. If the person appears to be abusive or seems to want to cause you harm, leave immediately and do not look back. This is when it is best to have a companion with you too. Maybe having a date at putt-putt with friends could be the best bet.
